- Today I'm gonna show you how to make
these really great cookies for your dog
that they're absolutely gonna love,
and it's all because of this.
(soft music)
Let me show you how.
My name's Ken Steepe.

Now I wanna get into the recipe today,
and it's a pretty cool one.
It uses bacon and peanut butter.
Both things that your dog is going to love.
So let's talk about the ingredients list.
So for this recipe, you're gonna need one cup
of natural creamy peanut butter.
Three quarters of a cup of low fat milk.
One large egg.
Two cups of whole wheat flour.
One tablespoon of baking powder.
One third of a cup of oats.
And two to three strips of bacon.
Let's start by getting our oven preheated to 325.
Now there's a bit of a trick here when...
We'll talk a little bit about it more.
These aren't the kind of cookies
that you'll just put in your oven,
and then you know take out once they're done.
We'll talk about that in a minute.
So we're gonna put the egg,
and the milk, and the peanut butter together in a bowl,
and then we're gonna mix it all together.
Now there's so much peanut butter used in this recipe,
it's no wonder that the dogs love it.
It's also adding the bacon to it is a nice treat,
and that's why I thought this would be a great cookie recipe
to turn into a Valentine's Day cookie.
But certainly you know if you're watching this
at any other time of year, it doesn't need to be
a Valentine's specific recipe.
This is a great cookie year round.
Once we've got our peanut butter and egg
and milk mixed pretty thoroughly,
we can add in our baking powder, and our two cups of flour.
Now this is gonna be a pretty heavy dough.
So once you have mixed it in a little bit,
you might need to take it out of the bowl,
and start working it on a like a floured surface.
On you know maybe your countertop or whatever,
but it does get pretty thick,
and we still need to add a couple of ingredients,
so once you get to that point to make sure
that you know you've mixed it adequately,
make sure that you have an opportunity
to you know work it on a flat surface.
I think we've reached that point.
I think we've reached the point where I can roll it out here
and just work it on the countertop.
Think it'll just make life a little bit easier,
and it'll certainly make me more likely
to get a better mix with the bacon and the oats.
Now Kayl and I had bacon for breakfast this morning,
and I was able to shoot some B roll,
so I've got some pre-cooked bacon
that's ready to go in once we have our dough ready,
and I'll actually roll that B roll right now
'cause seeing bacon prepared is pretty cool in slow motion.
I feel pretty good about this dough.
I think it's ready to have the bacon and the oats added.
Now we're just gonna I've got three strips of bacon here
that's really you don't need much more than that,
and I've got the oats prepared.
It's gonna be one third of a cup.
But we'll just chop up this bacon,
then we'll add it to our dough.
Now we're just gonna add one third of cup in here.
We don't wanna get it...
Get the dough too dry.
But one third of a cup of oats
will provide a little bit of fiber for the dogs,
and you can use whole rolled oats or even quick oats,
either are fine for this recipe.
We're gonna flour that work surface again.
Now we need to roll this dough out,
and it's a lot easier to do on that floured surface.
So I'm gonna grab the rolling pin,
and put a little flour on it as well,
and then we'll start to flatten this out a bit.
(soft music)
That's looks good.
Now I normally make for a little bit
thicker than a quarter of an inch.
This recipe, these cookies can get a little crumbly,
and if I make it just a little bit thicker
than a quarter inch, I'm more likely to have the cookies
stay in whatever shape that I've created them in.
So I would aim for that.
Just a little thicker than a quarter of an inch.
Because it's Valentine's Day next week,
I have got these adorable little cookies,
so these will be our Valentine's Day cookies for the dogs.
And we're just gonna cut some of the heart shapes out,
and then we're going to put them on the baking tray.
We have all of our cookies cut out.
I've got a piece of parchment paper here
that I'm gonna use to keep the cookies from sticking.
So we're just gonna spread them out evenly
across our baking sheet and then they're going to go
into the oven for 18 to 20 minutes.
We'll keep an eye on them just to make sure
that they don't burn, but as long as the bottom is brown,
we'll know that it's time to take them out at that point.
But we're not quite done there.
(gentle music)
18 minutes have gone by.
It's time to check on these cookies
to see how they're doing.
So far they look pretty good.
Now the thing we wanna check for is that the bottom
of the cookie has browned a little bit.
Oh and they look perfect.
Okay, we're gonna turn each one of these guys over,
and then we're gonna put it back
into the oven for another 10 minutes.
Alright, I'll say that they're probably ready now.
It actually smells pretty good,
which is surprising to say when you're dealing,
when you're making cookies for your dog,
but it smells pretty good in here.
So these guys they look pretty great.
Really, really nice brown all of these.
Now, we are going to let these get down to room temperature,
and then we're gonna see what Funkee
and Rad think about them.
(gentle music)
If you're gonna keep these at room temperature
in your house, it'll last about a week.
Same thing in the fridge.
They'll last about a week.
But if you put them in the freezer,
you'll get a lot more life out of these guys,
and they'll you know last much longer than that,
